I recently started working with the organization, Photo Requests from Solitary. Their aim is “to support the growing movement to end or significantly reduce the use of long-term solitary confinement – a form of torture that has been condemned by the United Nations and other international human rights organizations – in California, Illinois, New York and the other states we are working. To encourage people to think about the needs and hopes of people in isolation, whose humanity is often dismissed. To use in conjunction with state campaigns to establish humane conditions of confinement through legislation and policy change.”
These photographs are my first edit to fulfill a request from one such inmate in long-term solitary confinement. If you’re interested in helping, you can find out more about them here.
